Nature suggests you use their "Manuscript Adviser" bot to get advice before submitting I uploaded the classic Watson & Crick paper about DNA structure, and the Adviser had this to say about one of the greatest paper endings of the century:

First time posting on Bluesky! 🥳 We discovered a new pilus family in cyanobacteria. The pilin has a novel protein fold that forms a super-tight double-layer tube. Similar gene clusters exist in a few cyanobacterial orders. A great collaboration with John and others! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is an INCREDIBLE advance in our understanding of coral diversification. 🪸🎉 Fantastic new work led by @claudiavaga.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m very happy this is finally out! Here, we showcase the combination of BONCAT and SIP metaproteomics to uncover rare and active microbes driving anaerobic acetate turnover. We are excited to see what other microbial metabolisms and ecosystems this approach can help to illuminate! 🦠

This is what this is about for me: protecting early career researchers who haven’t published their data yet from data thefts. In 2022 my lab’s data was used by two studies, scooping the work of grad students and postdocs. I contacted the authors, who had used our data. One team understood, retracted

I'm grateful to be part of Data Reuse Consortium contributing to the paper "A roadmap for equitable reuse of public microbiome data" published in Nature Microbiology @natmicrobiol.nature.com.

Our institute @i2sysbio.es organized a workshop to promote public-private collaboration

The @uv.es has much to teach us on how to bring cool science to students from top scientists and communicators. During my studies there, I was inspired every year by the likes of Lynn Margulis, Sydney Brenner, Antonio Lazcano, Mike Lynch, and many others. Definitely made an impact!
